During the operations prior to the installation of the
automatically-driven gensets, or when connecting the
electrical connections, or in order to avoid unfortunate
startups, etc. the battery/batteries must be disconnected and
the control panel switch must be set to the OFF position.
Safety rules for diesel gensets

The engine room and installation of the set (foundations, air
intake, gas exhaust) must match the Safety rules that exist
in the country where the genset will be installed.
Installation
For stationary gensets, two types of installation can be
considered:
Outdoor assembly
Indoor assembly
3.3 Outdoor Installations
The generator set can be temporarily placed on a firm level

surface. If possible, avoid direct exposure to the sun, rain
and dirty conditions. It is recommended that the area around
generator set be fenced to prevent unauthorized access.
For long-term installations, a concrete foundation designed
by an engineer for the generator set is required. Foundation
must be constructed to prevent generator set noise and
vibration from surround areas and buildings.
Airflow is critical for the proper operation of the generator.
Outdoor installation must allow adequate clearance to
maintain the proper ventilation for generator cooling.
Minimum clearance around generator set is 5 ft (1.5m).
^ WARNING

Engine exhaust pipe(s) must be installed to
carry exhaust gases to an area where they pose
no danger.

Engine exhaust pipe(s) must be installed to carry exhaust
gases to an area where they pose no danger.
3.4 Indoor Installations
For the correct installation of a genset in closed premises,

the size of the room must allow:
The regular operation of the genset.
An easy access to its components for maintenance and
possible repairs.
The possibility of installing the genset using the available
means of transport. The door through which the genset
will be installed must be centered, so that the set remains
centered once it is inside, and there is no need of moving
it.
The existence of holes that allow oil replacement.
The installation of the exhaust pipe with the minimum
possible number of pipe elbows.
The genset to be placed in the middle of the premises,

3.4.1 Foundation
The foundation must be designed by an engineer experienced

in generator foundation design. The foundation must support
the weight of the generator set and all fluids, and prevent
the transmission of vibration and noise to other parts of the
11
building.
The surface on which the set will be placed must be levelled
in order to allow its correct operation.
to perform a thermal insulation of the pipes, in order to

prevent heat expansion to the walls. (3)
For cleaning reasons, it is recommended that the foundations

are approximately 10cm above the floor level, and covered
with gres industrial sandstone tiles.
3.4.2 Exhaust Installation
^ DANGER
Exhaust pipe(s) must be routed to an outdoor area where

exhaust gases pose no danger.
The joints between the different pipes must be perfectly

sealed so that there are no gas leaks. The connection
between flange and gasket is the most critical one. It is also
recommended to place a condensation collector, with drain
valve, on the bottoms point of the pipes.
The connection between the engines collector outlet (or the
turbocharger) and the pipe must be made by means of a
flexible tube, so that the engine movement and the thermal
expansions of the pipe are absorbed by the engine without
damaging any elements.
Dx0.35
60
Exhaust pipe that passes through walls, must prevent the

transmission of heat to the walls. Exhaust pipe connections
must be sealed tight to prevent exhaust gas leaks and must
end with a protection cap to protect them from water entry, or
with a similar system (1) and (2).

In the part where they run through the walls, it is recommended
The use of flexible pipe also requires the placement of

flanges in the exhaust pipe, independent of the genset.
Therefore, the pipelines must be fixed to the walls or ceiling
of the engine room, with supports that can bear the weight
of the pipe to the engine outlet, so that it does not rest on
the parts of the engine (collector, turbocharger), and allow
its expansion.
When dealing with very long pipes, it is necessary to insert
expansion joints made of sealed flexible pipes.

A. Exhaust pipes measurement for Standard Static Gensets
1xI 0
5xI 0
Such limits can be observed considering the dimensions that

are suitable for the exhaust installation, that is, the diameter
of the pipe and type of silencer.
The pipes must be as short as possible, and with as few pipe
elbows as possible. Whenever pipe elbows are necessary,
they must be used with a very wide angle of curvature (from
2.5 to 3 times the diameter of the pipe).
Pipes with bends of angles lower than 2.5 times the diameter
pose difficulties so they must be avoided.
In order to calculate the total length of the pipe (which is
crucial for the exhausts backpressure), the following
considerations must be taken into account:
The rectified length of the pipe elbows must be determined
according to the chart and pictures:
2,
5x
4xI 0
The engines exhaust backpressure has a remarkable

influence on the produced power and on the thermal
charge.
The limits that must not be exceeded (referred to the delivery

conditions of maximum power at full throttle) in HIMOINSA
genets must be consulted with the factory.
r=
5x
Whenever there are several gensets, it is advisable that

all exhausts do not converge on a common pipe, as there
can be problems when some gensets are in operation and
others are not. The produced exhaust gases can penetrate
in the conduits of the sets that are not in operation and may
cause damage.
Excessive backpressure values (measured at the exhaust

collector outlet for non-turbocharged engines, and at the
turbine outlet on turbocharged engines) cause reductions in
power, rise in temperature of exhaust gases, fumes, high fuel
consumption, cooling water overheat, lubricant degradation,
and the ensuing consequences on the engine parts.
Pipe I.D. (mm) 40
When establishing the trajectory of the exhaust pipe, it is

necessary that the pipe is not near the engine air filters,
in order to prevent the machine from drawing in hot air.
Otherwise, it will be necessary to insulate it.
d 10xI 0
The backpressure values due to the exhaust silencers may

vary within a wide range, depending on the type of building,
dimensions and noise abatement characteristics:
- If it is the one supplied by HIMOINSA, the length must be
multiplied by a coefficient of safety, so that the total length to
be considered due to backpressure will be: L=2 X l.
- If it has been provided by another supplier, it is recommended
to check the value of backpressure derived from the silencer
with the supplier.
Example: The exhaust pipe consists of the following parts:
- 5 metres of straight pipe stretches.
- Two pipe elbows type a)
- Three pipe elbows type c)
- A 1m long silencer.
If the inner diameter of the engine exhaust is 80mm, the total
length of the exhaust pipe is calculated as follows:
a) for the inner diameter 80mm, according to the chart,

l=1.2m.
b) total length of the pipe elbows type (a) is, 1X
l=1X1.2=1.2m. as there are two pipe elbows, 2 x 1.2=2.4m.
c) the total length of the pipe elbows type c) is 5 X l=5 x 1.2=
6m. as there are three pipe elbows, 3 x 6 = 18m.
d) the total length of the exhaust silencer is L=2X l = 2X1 =
2m.
e) the total length of the exhaust pipe is: 5+2.4+18+2=
27.4metres

In order to calculate the diameter of the exhaust pipe it is

possible to use the normogram below:

c) Continue upwards until crossing the straight line relative

to the flow of the exhaust gases, which according to the
chart is 1120 kg/h. To convert kg/h into m3/h divide the flow
expressed in kg/h by the density of the exhaust gases. As a
first approximation we can take the density of the exhaust
gases with a value of 0.42 kg/ m3 1120x0.42=2667 m 3/h.

f) Continue to the right until the straight line relative to the
insulated pipe. After crossing this last straight line, the
pipe diameter, 122 mm, is determined on the right top
part. The commercial diameter right above is the one to be
considered.
The exhaust pipe cannot have a lower diameter than the
collector pipe of the engine exhaust, and also, the straight
stretches must have a slight inclination in order to prevent
the return of condensates, as shown on the location plan of
the genset in the room.

Exhaust gases airflow in kg/h. In order to convert into m3/h,
the data must be divided by the exhaust gases density.
Request these data to the manufacturer.
Example: If we take the exhaust pipe from the previous
example, with a total length of 27.4 metres (taking into
account the rectified length of the pipe elbows and the length
equivalent to the exhaust silencer). From the following data
of the installation:
- 5 pipe elbows at 90 (2x type A and 3x type C).
- Set model: HIW-210
- Working rate: 50 Hz
- Motor: 8361 SRi 26 (supercharged).
- Insulated pipe.
a) Start from the lower part, with a total pipe length of 27.4m
When the diameter of the pipe is higher, the engine joint

must have a conic connection element with a conicity below
30 in order to avoid excessive load losses.
B. Exhaust pipes measuring for Sound Attenuated Static
Gensets.
Check with the HIMOINSA engineering department. There is
backpressure in the outlet of the genset which is caused by
the internal pipes. It is necessary to know this value so as not
to exceed the recommended backpressure when designing
the rest of the installation.
Exhaust silencer
The exhaust silencer is usually attached to the stretch of pipe
that remains inside the room where the genset is located.
Whenever possible, it can be separated from the genset.
The silencer used in industrial applications performs a 15 to
20 decibels noise reduction.
In order to reduce the noise, the position of the silencer can
be altered, by reducing the length of the tube that goes into
the engine. For example, for a 10m long pipe, the optimal
position would be half-way through the distance in relation
to the outlet. In the cases of private installations, such as
hospitals or residential areas, where a higher noise reduction
14
is required, special silencers can be used, with a reduction

of 25 to 30 decibels, and whenever possible, using special
quiet chambers.
3.4.3 Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is essential for proper operation and

durability of the generator set.
The generator set room must:
1. Allow the dissipation of the heat produced when the genset
is in operation by irradiation and convection.
2. Provide sufficient air flow for combustion and engine
cooling.
3. Allow the engine cooling by means of the radiator, keeping
the operating room temperature within the safety limits in
order to guarantee a good aspiration of the supply air.
A good ventilation solution applicable to most cases is the
one indicated in the charts of the sections of the installation,
in which the engine fan draws in the cooling air from the
engine room, whereas the hot air is expelled through the
expulsion tunnel placed between the radiator and the room
window.
The expulsion window must be bigger or same size as the
radiator in case of standard static gensets, and bigger or
same as the expulsion grid in case of sound attenuated
sets.
Prevent the radiator exhaust hot air from coming back to the
engine room, making sure the expulsion conducts are leakproof. Therefore, the air in the engine room is constantly
renovated, and the dimensions of intake grilles must be big
enough for the cooling and combustion.
In order to achieve a correct air flow, the cool air must be
introduced through the grilles that are located on the lower
part of the engine room wall. This wall should be the one
located opposite the radiator, so that the air flows all over the
set before being expelled through the fan.
Make sure there are no areas in the engine room where the
air is deposited. This usually happens in rooms with several
engines. In those cases, and whenever possible, each group
should have its own air intake grille.
In case you need more details about the air flow required for
the different types of HIMOINSA gensets, please contact to
the manufacturer.
For safety reasons, in those premises where there are
sets in continuous operation, or in those areas where the
room temperature is high, it is advisable to use an auxiliary
extractor fan that has enough power to achieve a suitable
ventilation. Such extractor fan must be located on top of the
room, as close to the radiator as possible.
3.4.4 Remote Fuel Tank
The generator set is supplied with an integrated fuel tank.

In some situations, a remote fuel tank may be required. The
remote fuel tank must be properly connected to the engine
so the fuel transfer pump can draw fuel properly.
The remote tank must be located no more than 65.5 ft (20
m) from the engine and no more than 16.5 ft (5 m) below the
engine.
Generator sets supplied by HIMOINSA include a complete
fuel installation, since the fuel tank is located on the bedplate
of the genset.
The fuel tank is connected through flexible tubes in order
to guarantee their operating durability, depending on the
model.
For longer run times, and in order to satisfy special demands,
it may necessary to use a special tank that is fitted separately.
It will be necessary to connect the engine to the new tank,
and install flexible connections and new suitable pipes that
must be firmly connected. The new fuel tank must be located
according to the following criteria, so that the engine injection
pump is able to draw in fuel from the new tank:
Closer than 20m from the engine, in case they are both at
the same level.
Less than 5m deep.
The usual connections are:
For fuel injections to the engine injection pump.
For fuel excess returns from the injection pump.
For drain return of the injectors.
The pipes must not have any welds. They can be made
of steel, iron or cast iron. Galvanized steel pipelines must
not be used. Flexible connections must be fitted in order to
isolate the static parts of the plant from the new fuel tank, in
order to avoid the possible vibrations caused by the engine.
Depending on the type of engine, these can be made using
the following:
Stretches with a suitable length made of reinforced rubber
pipes with flexible insertions that are resistant to gas oil. For
the connections with the terminal rubber holders with edges
and screw clamps.
Flexible low-pressure type tubes, suitable for gas oil,
protected with metal mesh and with screwed terminals for
tightly-sealing. Synthetic resins must be avoided.
In complementary areas of the plant, maximum attention
15
must be paid to the following issues:

- Fix pipes by means of holders, at regular intervals in a
way that vibrations and inflexions caused by pipes weight
are avoided, especially those made of copper tube.
- Couplings must be avoided. In case of using them they
must be tightly-sealed, especially in depression conditions
parts (fuel aspiration intake), in order to avoid air filtrations
that make the startup more difficult.
- Aspiration pipes below the fuel level must be placed at
a distance of 20-30mm from the bottom, in order to avoid
a possible deactivation of the circuit due to insufficient air.
Also, these must be conveniently separated from each other,
in a way that the fuel return flow does not block the supply
due to the gas oil impurities from the bottom of the tank or
mixed air.
- Thorough cleaning of the used pipes.
- Avoid abrupt variations in the tube section and the use of
elbows with a wide angles in pipes.
3.4.5 Heating
In cold climates, automatic starting generator sets may need

an engine room heater to keep the engine room above 50 F
(10 C) to ensure the generator starts when needed.
Electric heaters with thermostatic controls ranging from 500
to 1500W, depending on the genset, have also been supplied
with those sets. They maintain the water temperature within
acceptable values in case a sudden start or power input may
damage the engine.
3.4.6 Electrical Connections

STOP

The generator engine can be stopped

using one of two methods. Pressing the
stop button once will stop the engine
after a 20 second cool down cycle. This is
the recommended procedure. Pressing the stop button twice

will stop the engine immediately. This is not recommended.
Use this procedure only in an emergency situation.
Push the STOP button once to stop the engine after a 20
second cool down cycle.
Push the STOP button twice to stop the engine immediately,
without cooling down cycle.
5.5.3 Starting And Stopping - Automatic

Mode

In automatic mode, the control panel

constantly controls the Gen-set operation.

In some situations, the gen-set can be

programmed to supply power, the controller
starts the generator set activating the gen-set contactor.
Programmable operational modes to start the Gen-Set:
External start.
Start controlled by timer.
Forced start.
Rate change notice.
Engine test.
Controlled by the transfer switch control board
The gen-set will stop after a 20 second cooling down cycle
after the deactivation of the command which automatically
started the genset.
5.6 Interruption Of Function Mode

When the control panel is in manual mode,

the automatic mode can be initiated by

pressing the AUTO button for 5 seconds.

This blocking function does not allow the
change of modes and the button of the mode running at that
moment will flash. To deactivate the automatic interruption
mode and allow the change of operational modes, press the
AUTO button for 5 seconds.
5.7 Working Mode
The generator engine works in the following way, once the

control panel detects an activation condition:
1. Delay in the starting: Once an activation condition
is detected, and before going on with the engine
starting process, a delay in the engine starting can be
programmed.
2. Engine pre-heating phase: The control board activates
the pre-heating output for a programmed time.
3. Engine Start Enabling (run signal): The engine run
signal is made by means of the PC (B+) output from the
measurements module. The output allows a no-excitation
stop (energized to-run) or an excitation stop (energized
24

to-stop). This output is configurable.
4. Engine starting: For a programmed period of time, the
starting output of the measurements module is activated,
waiting to detect, at least, one of the programmed starting
conditions. The possible engine starting conditions could
be:
Generator voltage: The engine would be considered
started (running) when its voltage exceeds a given value.
Alternator voltage: The engine would be considered
started (running) when the battery charger alternator
voltage exceeds a given value.
Pick up frequency: The engine would be considered
started (running) when the pick up frequency exceeds a
given value. To activate the pick up calculation through the
engine ring gear, the number of teeth of the gear must be
introduced. In case the number of teeth is 0, the frequency
of the pick up will be calculated through the generator
frequency as per the equivalence-ratio 50Hz/1500 rpm or
50Hz/3000 rpm and 60 Hz/1800 rpm.
Low oil pressure: It is not advisable to use the low oil
pressure signal as a way to detect if the engine is working,
but it is useful as a protection, in order to avoid engaging
the starter while the engine is running.
If in the programmed time the starting of the engine is not
detected, the control board waits for a short time before
attempting a new start. The start failure alarm will be raised
after a specified number of attempts without detecting any
starting condition.
In the starting cycle, the excitation of the battery charger
alternator is activated temporarily through the D+ output. Once
the excitation of the alternator is finished, the measurements
module checks if the battery charge alternator is working
properly. The battery charge alternator failure alarm is raised
in case of an output failure.
Genset stabilization: Once any of the starting conditions
is detected, the controller waits for a programmed
stabilization-time of the generator output, before monitoring
output parameters.

DIESEL
TRANSF

Once the transfer pump option is activated,

its operation modes are as follows:
Inhibited mode: The transfer pump is blocked from

operation.
Manual mode: The transfer pump is operated by pressing
the diesel transfer button, provided that the fuel level is under
the maximum threshold parameters.
Automatic mode: The transfer pump becomes operative:
According to the minimum activation parameters, under
which the relay BT is activated.
According to the maximum deactivation parameters, over
which the relay BT is deactivated.
Control board mode: The transfer pump operation is carried
out as follows:
When the controller is in automatic or test-mode, the
transfer pump is operated automatically.
When the controller is manual-mode, the transfer pump
operation is carried out in manual mode.
When the controller is in a blocked-mode, the transfer
pump operation is inhibited (CEM7+CEC7).
5.9 Alarms
The CEM7 distinguishes between anomalies which cause

the stop of the engine (alarms) and errors, which do not stop
the engine (warnings).
When an alarm or warning is detected, the controller produces
an acoustic alarm, at the same time the digital alarm output
(AL) activates and the LED of the reset button flashes; this
status will remain the same as long as the failure condition
continues for a programmable period of time.
The LED of the reset button lights when alarms or warnings
are active or in need of acknowledgement. Pressing reset
button once allows the user to see a record of alarms and
warnings that are active and needing to be acknowledged.
The up and down buttons of the display are used to go back
and forward in the failure record. A second press of reset
silences the alarm.
Nominal condition: Once the stabilization of the engine

is reached, the next step is the checking of the signal
produced by the generator. In this way, the quality of the
signal produced by the generator set is monitored (voltage
levels, frequency).

The record of warnings that are active or in

need of acknowledgement has the
following format:

3: Number of errors in the record
display (which stops flashing) shows the kind of warning.

Warning A.
The LEDs on the control panel indicate alarms detected by

the sensors.
This kind of warning is automatically reset as long as nominal

working conditions are restored. It is focused on the type of
alarms related to fuel level and the alarms related with the
mains threshold.
The alarms which cause the engine to stop are not autoresetting. They must be acknowledged and re-set by the
user in order for the engine to start again, but only if the
alarm does not remain active.
The warning alarms do not stop the engine. They need to be
reset to erase them from the display, but only if the warning
does not remain active. The fuel level alarm is an exception,
as it is automatically reset.
5.9.1 Reseting Alarms
EN - Alarm with engine stop.

AN - Warning that needs to be reset, engine does not stop.
A - Warning that automatically resets.
EN Alarm with engine stop.
When an alarm is detected, the controller produces an
acoustic signal, the LED of the RESET button flashes, the
display blinks and the appropriate digital alarm output (AL)
is activated. In this case the engine stops.
The acoustic alarm is silenced by pressing the reset button
once. The reset LED turns into fixed light and the display

Stop / Reset
This button places the module into its Stop/Reset mode.
This will clear any alarm conditions for which the triggering
criteria have been removed. If the engine is running and
the module is in Stop mode, the module will automatically
instruct the changeover device to unload the generator
(Close Generator becomes inactive (if used)). The fuel
supply de-energizes and the engine comes to a standstill.
Should a remote start signal be present while operating in
this mode, a remote start will not occur.
Auto
This button places the module into its
Automatic mode. This mode allows the
module to control the function of the generator
automatically. The module will monitor the
remote start input and once a start request
is made, the set will be automatically started
and laced on load. Upon removal of the starting signal,
the module will automatically transfer the load from the
generator and shut the set down observing the stop delay
timer and cooling timer as necessary. The module will then
await the next start event.
Start
Pressing this button in auto mode will start the
engine and run off load. Pressing this button
in STOP/RESET mode will turn on the CAN
engine ECU (when correctly configured and
fitted to a compatible engine ECU)

Activate auto mode by pressing the AUTO
pushbutton. The line/arrow icon around AUTO
is displayed to indicate Auto Mode operation if
no alarms are present.
Auto mode will allow the generator to operate fully
automatically, starting and stopping as required with no user
intervention.
7.5.1 Waiting In Auto Mode
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence will begin.

Starting requests can be from the following sources:
Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to
remote start.
7.5.2 Starting Sequence
To allow for false start requests, the start delay timer

begins.
Should all start requests be removed during the start delay
timer, the unit will return to a stand-by state.
If a start request is still present at the end of the start delay
timer, the fuel relay is energized and the engine will be
cranked.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible
ECUs will receive the start command via CAN.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then
the starter motor is disengaged for the crank rest duration
after which the next start attempt is made. Should this
sequence continue beyond the set number of attempts, the
start sequence will be terminated and the display shows Fail
to Start.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged.
Speed detection is factory configured to be derived from
the main alternator output frequency but can additionally be
measured from a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel
(Selected by PC using the 3000 series configuration
software).
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the
starter motor (but cannot detect underspeed or overspeed).
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed
sensing is via CAN.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer
activates, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine Temperature,
Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault
inputs to stabilize without triggering the fault.
ENGINE RUNNING
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have
expired, the animated icon is displayed.
DSE3110 - The generator will be placed on load if configured
to do so.

7.5.3 Stopping Sequence
The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting

request has been permanently removed and isnt just a short
term removal. Should another start request be made during
the cooling down period, the set will return on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay
timer, the load is removed from the generator to the mains
supply and the cooling timer is initiated.
The cooling timer allows the set to run off load and cool
sufficiently before being stopped. This is particularly
important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
After the cooling timer has expired, the set is stopped.
7.6 Manual Operation
NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active,

changing module modes will not be possible. Viewing the
instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.

If the Remote Start input (if configured) is activated the relevant indicator (if configured) illuminates.
To allow for false remote start signals, the Start Delay timer is initiated. After this delay, if the pre-heat output option
is selected then the pre-heat timer is initiated, and the corresponding auxiliary output (if configured) will energise.
NOTE:- If the Remote Start signal is removed during the Start Delay timer, the unit will return to a
stand-by state.
After the above delays the Fuel Solenoid (or enable ECU output if configured) is energised, then one second
later, the Starter Motor is engaged.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECUs will receive the start command
via CAN.
The engine is cranked for a pre-set time. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter
motor is disengaged for the pre-set rest period. Should this sequence continue beyond the set number of attempts,
the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start fault will be displayed.

Shutdown
Failed to start
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at a pre-set frequency from the Alternator
output. Alternatively, a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel housing can be used for speed detection (This is
selected by PC using the 5xxx series configuration software). Rising oil pressure can also be used to disconnect
the starter motor; however, it cannot be used for underspeed or overspeed detection.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed sensing is via CAN.
41

After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine
Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without triggering the
fault.
Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected, is initiated, allowing the engine to stabilise before
accepting the load.
If an auxiliary output has been selected to give a load transfer signal, this then activates.
NOTE:-A load transfer will not be initiated until the Oil Pressure has risen. Thus preventing
excessive wear on the engine.
On removal of the Remote Start signal, the Stop delay timer is initiated, once it has timed out, the load Transfer
signal is de-energised, removing the load. The Cooling timer is then initiated, allowing the engine a cooling down
period off load before shutting down. Once the Cooling timer expires the Fuel Solenoid is de-energised, bringing
the generator to a stop.
Should the Remote Start signal be re-activated during the cooling down period, the set will return on load.

Starter Motor is engaged.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECUs will receive the start command
via CAN.
The engine is cranked for a pre-set time period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the
starter motor is disengaged for the pre-set rest period. Should this sequence continue beyond the set number of
attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start will be displayed.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at a pre-set frequency from the Alternator
output. Alternatively, a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel housing can be used for speed detection (This is
selected by PC using the 52/53xx series configuration software). Rising oil pressure can also be used to
disconnect the starter motor; however, it cannot be used for underspeed or overspeed detection.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed sensing is via CAN.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine
Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without triggering the
fault.
Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected, is initiated, allowing the engine to stabilise before it
can be loaded.
The generator will run off load, unless the Remote Start on load signal is applied or, if Close generator has been
selected as a control source, the appropriate auxiliary output will then activate.
The generator will continue to run On load, until the Auto mode is selected.
If Auto mode is selected, and the remote start on load signal is not active, then the Stop Delay Timer begins,
after which, the load is disconnected. The generator will then run off load allowing the engine a cooling down

10.4 Lifting
^ WARNING
The generator lifting points are designed to lift the
generator only.

Do not lift the complete generating set by the
generator lifting points.
When lifting the generator use a spreader bar to ensure
that the angle on the lifting chains are vertical to the lifting
position on the generator.
The product is an AVR controlled, separately excited (by a

shaft driven pilot exciter) synchronous ac generator or a self
excited (shunt arrangement). Designed for incorporation into
a generating-set. (A generating-set is defined as machinery
in European directives).
10.2 Serial Number Location
Each generator has a unique serial number stamped into the

upper section of the drive end of the frame.
The serial number is also shown on the nameplate.
Two other labels are located inside the terminal box, both
fixed inside of the terminal box, one on the sheet metal-work
and the other on the main frame of the generator. Neither of
these two labels is considered to be permanently fixed.
10.3 Rating Plate
The generator has been supplied with a self-adhesive rating

plate label to enable fitting after final assembly and painting.
Stick the nameplate to the outside of the non-drive end of
the terminal box. The surface in the area where a label is
to be stuck must be flat, clean, and any paint finish must be
fully dry before attempting to attach label. Recommended
method for attaching label is peel and fold back sufficient of
the backing paper to expose some 20 mm of label adhesive
along the edge which is to be located against the sheet
metal protrusions. Once this first section of label has been
carefully located and stuck into position progressively peel
off the backing paper and smooth down with a clean cloth.
The adhesive will achieve a permanent bond in 24 hours.
A factory fitted metal nameplate is available for some
applications.

10.8 Alternator Maintenance
^ WARNING
As part of routine maintenance procedures, periodic attention
to winding condition (particularly when generators have been
idle for a long period) and bearings is recommended.
When generators are fitted with air filters regular inspection
and filter maintenance is required.
10.8.1 Winding Condition
Warning: Service and fault finding procedures present

hazards which can result in l injury or death. Only personnel
qualified to perform electrical and mechanical service should
carry out these procedures. Ensure engine starting circuits
are disabled before commencing service or maintenance
procedures. Isolate any anti-condensation heater supply.
10.8.2 Guidance Of Typical Insulation

Resistance [IR] Values
The following is offered as general information about IR

values and is aimed at providing guidance about the typical
IR values for generators from new through to the point of
refurbishment.
Generators In Service
It is known that a generator will give reliable service with
an IR value of just 1.0 M. For a relatively new generator
to be so low it must have been subjected to inappropriate
operating or storage conditions.
10.8.3 Winding Condition Assessment

The AVR should be disconnected and the Resistance
Temperature Detector (R.T.D.) leads grounded during this
test.
NOTICE
The AVR must be disconnected and the resistance
Temperature Detector (R.T.D.) leads grounded
during this test.
The condition of the windings can be assessed by
measurement of insulation resistance [IR] between phase to
phase, and phase to earth.
Measurement of winding insulation should be carried out:
1. As part of a periodic maintenance plan.
2. After prolonged periods of shutdown.
3. When low insulation is suspected, e.g. damp or wet
windings.
Care should be taken when dealing with windings that are
suspected of being excessively damp or dirty. The initial
measurement of the [IR] Insulation Resistance should
be established using a low voltage (500V) megger type
instrument. If manually powered the handle should initially be
turned slowly so that the full test voltage will not be applied,
and only applied for long enough to very quickly assess
the situation if low values are suspected or immediately
indicated.
Full megger tests or any other form of high voltage test
should not be applied until the windings have been dried out
and if necessary cleaned.
10.9 Replacement Parts
Contact your Himoinsa Power System dealer or distributor

to order parts. Have your genset serial and model number
when ordering parts.
Any temporarily reduction in IR values can be restored

to expected values by following one of the drying out
procedures.
